I found Norma 9mm on sale and picked up several hundred rounds of this FMJ ammo. Velocity, accuracy and reliability are tested through four different firearms. Is it worth $12.99 a box?
Now owned by Beretta I have shot some in my Glock 17 works great. I enjoyed the video the ammo velocity was close to advertised. That is a nice area out there secluded and relaxing.
Norma isn't a "discount" brand. They are a legitimate manufacturing brand, I would say equal to Winchester or Remington. They've opened shop in the States recently.
A few years ago my local gun store stocked Norma .556 ammo, at right around ten bucks a box. I stocked on some, but alas they don’t carry it anymore. It runs real well in my Ruger AR 556. I always look forward to your videos, by the way!
Well now this was a interesting video and. a interesting test. I feel the same way about Norma ammo I have always liked it but most the time it's just a little too pricey. That 50 yd accuracy test with those carbines was some really good shooting.
Idk I have a lot of the 7.62x39 Norma Tactical I have 5 reloads on a 100 pieces of it. Zero issues so far but I will keep my eyes peeled on future pieces.
Damn Blister Beetle got me when I was a kid. I was sleeping and it crawled all over me. I was about 8 and I was one sick kid. Don't mess with them. They're little monsters.
Mixup98, Sir, it would be very interesting to see your review of the Maxxtech 9mm ammo. It's a fully mil-spec ammo made in Bosnia. German Bundeswehr used this manufacturer as a source of a reliable and inexpensive ammo for years. About a year ago, they hit the American ammo market. This ammo is not marked as P+ or P++, but it's definitely more powerful than your regular Federal or Remington 9mm ammo.
@@mixup98….Maxxtech….. you can find it in 500 rds of 45 acp in brass case with free shipping for 219.00, AND 45 acp steel case and in 9mm at, centerfiresystems on line.
Good morning Sir and Son, great to see yous. :) So I have never shot either a folding, or take-down rifle; it is remarkable that they are so accurate. But then you make accurate anything you two shoot with. Have a great weekend y'all and stay blessed.
1:24 "Foreign components" doesn't mean China. It means Sweden. Norma is a Swedish company with quite a bumpy relationship with the US civilian ammo market. They left it some years ago, then they came back, then they left again, and finally they came back abt. 5 years ago. Their hunting ammo could be a bit expensive sometimes, but their 9mm FMJ ammo is quite affordable even by today's wierd standards.
I bought a case of Norma .38 special a couple of years ago, mostly because it was ridiculously inexpensive. I never had any problems with it, but the price shot up. 👍👍👍💥
I picked up some .22 caliber Norma pellets, both regular and heavy round nose, when I bought my Diana Stormrider PCP air rifle and at the sale price they were about the same price per pellet as inexpensive .177 pellets. Quality control and uniformity was excellent, and I cannot recall any pellets from any other manufacturer, including RWS and H&N, being that free from defects or deformities. My first group after sighting in the scope was a single round hole at 10 m, about 0.10 inches c-t-c. Best group I ever shot. That air rifle likes the heavy Norma pellets better than the standard weight ones and with that kind of accuracy, I haven’t felt the urge to buy up multiple brands to compare since it is a near-certainty that I’m not going to do better than with the Norma heavy .22 pellets.
I have 4 Taurus weapons & that Taurus you used today will be my next mainly because of it being budget friendly, easy concealable, and good reviews like the one you gave today.
Good to see the velocities on box was accurate, I have these in 9mm and the 380 version because they were on sale. Norma is notorious for exaggerated velocities on self defense ammo, sometimes by 100s of fps.
Fin Feather Fur had Norma 380, $12.99 for 50 rounds here recently. Now they have 7.62x39 at $12.99 for 20 rounds. Have some of both but haven’t tried it yet. Thanks for the review!
I bought mine at Fin also had a very poor experience with the 380, talked to Norma and had no type of customer service at all. I usually use CCI Blazer and never had an issue.
@@Jmg7580… i had no problems with the Norma 380 ammo in the wifes S&W 380-EZ or her ‘Firearms International’ mini 1911-380 …..it even ejected just fine out of her Charter Arms 380 revolver😂
I've not had any issues with norma ammo , their 9mm , 38 special, 45 acp and 556 , I haven't used the 22lr in a few years . They used to be waxy and sticky , and I bought alot of blazer 22lr 500 rounds ,when some of the dicks sporting goods were getting rid of firearms. The zombie was a fun touch, and your son got a sweet picture of that bug. Great to see you two out together
I just shot a video on Remington Thunderbolt ammo and it should be posted tomorrow. I might to a Blazer .22 video in the future. My son and I hade a lot of fun making this video and we thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on it.
Well, seems like it goes 'bang'. Never bought any of this stuff, but apparently it's decent. Thanks for spending the time and money to bring us these reviews. They're excellent!!
Believe it or not I have been in dozens of mines and caves and I have never, not once, found a snake in any of them.. I have found bats, toads, lizards and spiders but not snakes. .....which is a good thing 👍😁
I bought a case of the 115 grain 9mm back during the ammo shortage and have found it to be 100% reliable and accurate just like you've demonstrated. I've also had good luck with the .45 230 grain ball ammo. If I had a gripe (and it's not really serious), it's that I've found the ammo to be a little dirtier than brands like S&B, AAC, Blazer, and Sterling. For the price, I don't mind a little extra cleaning!
Another great review 👍👍 a little off topic but forget the price how do you like the taurus compared to the glock 19 .. i have theg3 and g2c a glock 19x but believe it or not never fired a glock 19.. just wondered are they the same different likes dislikes.. thanks
Hey Mix Up 98 and Son, I love your videos, and I am going to have to try to get some of that Norma ammo, I carry a Taurus G2C, normally shoot Blazer 115gr, without a hiccup, never tried the 124gr, anyway I always look forward to seeing your next video, and love your location, keep em coming
I bought a lot of Norma near and during end of the ammo panic. I will always have high regard for Norma ammo as they were instrumental in bring prices down to fair levels after the ammo panic. They led the way in lowering prices and others followed. Even their primer sales when they had them were far lower prices than others. And they did not charge Hazmat fees to the customer. Awesome company. I was also very happy to learn about Beretta acquiring them back when it happened. So I continued to buy from them. And as promised, they have expanded the operation and released even more new products, with major production. Coincidentally, today, I received an email from Norma that they are now producing and selling shotshell ammo. Wow, great job. Norma has a great history from before Beretta's acquisition too, going back 100 years in Europe (Switzerland? I can't remember), and more. Their smokeless powder is long respected as well. I obviously cannot say enough about them. Good choice by Beretta Holdings to buy their American ammo operations.
I've been using it since probably 2020. Apparently no one else was buying it. Ammo prices were nuts. I picked up 5 cases from a shop by my mom's place at twelve fifty a box. I had seen the shop also had Norma 7.⁶²x39 in target and in tactical loads. Maybe twelve bux a box, so I bought a lot of that and had them ship it. Great ammo. Very consistent and equal to the load data on the boxes. PS forgot to mention Norma also offers a 9mm 124gr non-expanding hollowpoint that they market as match grade ammunition. It absolutely is that. Seems it was about the same $
I liked how you accuracy tested the carbines. I put a 4X scope on my Ruger mk4 .22 pistol out of curiosity, I'm getting half inch 3 shot groups at 25 yards from a bench and hitting a 8 inch steel plate at 200 yards.
I find when removing the primers from 38spl Norma brass I had to adjust down and tighten the primer removal rod as some primers were really stretching before being popped out. No problems putting new primers in though.
Nice to see the PC Carbine love. I need to go zero the Vortex red dot I put on mine. Watch out in those old mines, you never know what you'll run into! I'd rather run into a zombie than the 5 ft. rattler I ran into inside one, once, when I was a teenager. I had the skin for several years, but like many other things, it disappeared while I was away in the Army.
Great video :-) I was hoping somebody would do a review on this Ammunition as I have seen it in one store not far from me quite often lately. The price was a couple dollars more a box but still that’s not a bad price for quality ammunition that goes bang every time.
Excellent video. We buy the 380 version as practice ammo. It is the least expensive 380 ammo we can find. For 9mm practice we use 124 Blazer brass. The Norma is very reliable. It is slightly less accurate than PMC. I carry the Norma 9mm Megalithic Hollow points when I carry a 9mm. I have seen the negative reviews but it feeds reliably in all the guns I have tried.
Are there any cicadas out in Nevada? We are overrun with them here in the Midwest. Always enjoy your videos Mixup during a rainy morning. Happy shooting.
We had cicadas in the summer when I was growing up in Las Vegas but I haven't seen one in many years. I think they all packed up and moved east.😁 I wish it were raining here....I'd be fishing on Lake Mead right now.
Did you get caught in the double cicada outbreak? It seems two different types of cicadas came out of their hibernation/sleep cycle at the same time. My wife would freak out.
I just don't see Norma ammo around here in suburban Philly. Nor do I see any gold mines either ..... Nice review on the ammo. Its remarkable how much velocity a rifle barrel adds to the bullet.
So far the 7.62x39 Norma tactical stuff I got close to 2 years ago is doing great. The first firing gave me a 2” group at 100 yards. So far I have 5 reloads on this brass with no issues so far. Only thing I wish from it is it was small rifle primer instead of large rifle primer.
Found the same sale about 2wks ago. I’ve got the Taurus G3XL, which is a G3 slide and a G3C grip. Kind of the opposite of yours. Taurus needs a PCC now..
You guys are killing me. That gold mine Zombies. The ammo looks like it works. Odd that they load it with 124 grain ball ammo, when 115 is cheaper. Is this surplus from some big contract for military ammo? Awesome price!
@@mixup98 Mysteries of the Nevada Desert. Maybe you should make a few wooden stakes and load up on Silver(tip) ammo. Scatter some garlic around. Not sure what the going price on wolfsbane is. True story; my buddy use to tell people (women) that in his last speedloader he carried 2 armour piercing cartridges for stopping pursuits. He also had 2 silver bullet s and 2 wooden bullets, for vampires and werewolves. And they often times believed him.
@@frankhinkle5772 Sounds like your buddy and I would get along great. Might have to work on making and loading some wooden bullets....just in case 👍😁 💀
There 22lr ammo runs good suppressed it runs about 1100 feet per second. I also ran through 1000 rounds of 9 without any problems. Thanks for the video.
I think I’ve had good luck with Norma in a few calibers in the past. Looks like it’s brass jacketed or washed instead of copper. A lot of foreign ammo looks like that. BrassMaxx is another one I remember.
I have used a lot of this stuff in .38 Special and .357 Magnum ( over 1,000 easy) and its always been good. Used the 9mm some, mostly in my Beretta and Styer, 500+ and they always worked good for me, Good training ammo from my shooting experience. I bought a few thousand of these a few years ago and I am happy with them🤠
I like the Norma ammo, the prices are awesome & it’s been 100% reliable for me. Midwayusa has Norma JHP’s & FMJ’s right now for great prices. - Jason/Freedom Fighter Until Death/Vermont, FRA (‘FRA’, meaning “The Failed Republic Of America”)
